Putting Together the Pieces

This is the start of a new chapter.
Chapter 3 wraps up all the introductory pieces we need to know about programming in Alice before we can dig deeper with more advanced programming concepts next term.
In section 3-1 you will be learning about built-in functions to ask questions about an object's properties. This feature can be useful for a program to obtain information about the world and its objects.
You also will be using arithmetic operations to form math expressions in Alice

We start to fill in our vocabulary sheet with new words to be understood.
In the lab we will be working on question 10b and on exercises 1 and 2, page 83.

Homework
  • Read section 3-2: Pages 68-76.
  • Answer the review questions for section 3-2: Simple control structures.
